Dark Angel

Premise:

The Dark Angel series is described by the network as follows:

"A futuristic drama from Academy-Award-winner James Cameron (Titanic, True Lies, Terminator, T2) and Emmy Award-winner Charles Eglee (Murder One, Moonlighting), stars Jessica Alba (Never Been Kissed, 10 Things I Hate About You, Idle Hands) in the role of Max, a genetically-enhanced human prototype hunted by her former military handlers through the edgy, underground street life of 21st century San Francisco. Eighteen-year-old Max is aided in her quest – both the capture and reunite with her ‘siblings’ scattered in the aftermath of their escape – by Logan Clarke, an idealistic cyber-journalist battling repression and corruption in post-apocalypse America. Max initially resists Logan’s attempts to enlist her unique skills and abilities in his struggle, preferring instead to maintain the ultra-cool demeanor of detached, alienated youth. Eventually, Logan calls her to the highest part of her being and Max becomes his samurai as the pair takes on the ruthless power-brokers of the new millennium. Alternately Dark, moving, funny and irreverent, Max and Logan’s odyssey leads them closer to the secret of her past, deepening and complicated their relationship in the process."
